Awesome

An awesome YA read that shows some of the pressures and issues that are live and real in high school. Faith is dealing with rumors being spread by an ex boyfriend and Kyle is dealing with self esteem issuing stemming from bullying he endured in middle school. Just so happens both are being caused by the same jerk. Faith and Kyle come up with a plan to get back at Cameron (her ex) by pretending to be a couple which will drive Cameron crazy. Kyle has slowly built a rep of the school bad boy. So maybe the rep isn't really who Kyle is but Cameron doesn't know that!!
This was a fun read and very well done. I definitely recommend it.

a wonderful story of romance and learning about on

Disclaimer: I received an eARC of this book. I chose to review it and this in no way impacts my opinion of it.
This book was everything I was hoping it would be. Adorable, quirky, with a wonderful bad boy, and let’s be honest. Who doesn’t love a bad boy? This novel sucked me right in and refused to let me out until I finished it. Not only was this a tale of learning who one was and discovering love, but it was also a delicious revenge story and I know you all love revenge stories.
The characters were fantastic in this novel. I found them to be very realistic and acting like normal teenagers would which made this novel that much more enjoyable for me. I especially loved Kyle with all that he was struggling with and found the way he chose to protect himself to be very interesting.
Faith was a wonderful character and I loved seeing her break out of her shell with help from Kyle. I really loved reading about the sweet ballerina pretending to be with the bad boy. I do however wish that we had gotten a little more “fake relationship” action but it was still wonderful.
This novel was a wonderful story of romance and learning about oneself. I devoured this novel in a day and I’m sure you’ll do the same!

Fun Revenge Story!!!

The Bad Boy Bargain by Kendra C. Highley.....I love a good revenge storyline with sweetness, fun and this story delivered. Kyle and Faith are very likeable and relatable. These two both want revenge on Cameron he cheated on Faith and was extremely mean, know as a bully in Kyle's younger years. This is a perfect book to let you escape reality for a couple of hours. I voluntarily reviewed an advance readers copy from publisher via NetGalley.

Great Teenager Romance

Okay, so this book is perfect for teenage romantics. It was a bit too predictable for me, but like I said..great for teenagers!
This books was fun and easy to read and it wasn’t too emotional and makes for a fun, light read involving high school crushes.

This story is such a feel-good YA Romance and I go

If you've read almost any of my other reviews, you'll know that I am a complete sucker for sexy, sweet and vulnerable "nice guys," so I suppose it's no real surprise that:
I. Loved. Kyle.
He is awkward and sweet and passionate. He was such a wonderful "nice guy" hero. Faith was also great and I liked their chemistry and the adorable ways they got to know one another. The fact that this was "fake dating" with little actual fake dating and their issues weren't predominantly a lot of confusion over how real their feelings were was refreshing (much as I AM a fan of that trope!).
If you go into this expecting a story about a "bad boy," you'll be surprised that this isn't the story of an actual bad boy, but more of a story about misconceptions and how those can affect us. Everyone somehow believes that Kyle, despite the fact that he is so obviously NICE, is a delinquent womanizer, all thanks to too many people who enjoy gossip too much. Faith is also eventually affected by the rumor mill, which is the catalyst for her "bargain" with the resident "bad boy." Ironically, these two are actually both more the opposite of what the rumors have declared them.
This story is such a feel-good YA Romance and I gobbled it up at lightning speed, enjoying all of its charm and adorableness.
I received an ARC from the publisher to voluntarily review. This is no way influenced my review. My opinion is my own.
